Today, we remember the burning of the Jaffna Library, set ablaze on the night of May 31, 1981, by Sri Lankan state forces. The library housed over 97000 books and irreplaceable Tamil manuscripts, making it the largest in Asia and a cornerstone of Tamil intellectual heritage

Today, we join Sikhs around the world in commemorating the 42-year anniversary of Operation Blue Star.

Today, we celebrate a major milestone: SB 995, the Masuma Khan Justice Act, has passed the California State Senate with unanimous bipartisan support.

Thank you to @SashaReneePerez our coalition partners, @SALDEF, @CHIRLA , @JakaraMovement, @AAPIEquity, and @PublicCounsel

[Kshama Sawant @cmkshama]

I am endorsing the No Hate in Washington State campaign, which is calling for a NO vote on two proposed appalling anti-trans ballot measures that threaten the rights of all children.

If passed, IL26-001 would deny basic protections for child abuse victims and IL26-628 would subject girls to invasive genital exams to play sports.

https://t.co/cgkJ5tlDgT

It is absolutely crucial that working people and the labor movement ensure these measures are defeated by Washington State voters.

The working class needs to stand in solidarity against every form of oppression as well as economic exploitation under the capitalist system.

My organization, Workers Strike Back, has also endorsed the campaign.

Both Workers Strike Back and my revolutionary socialist campaign for the U.S. Congress will be doing everything we can to support the No Hate campaign.
